Patent number: 9105981Abstract: A dielectric cone radiator sub-reflector assembly for a reflector antenna with a waveguide supported sub-reflector is provided as a unitary dielectric block with a sub-reflector at a distal end. A waveguide transition portion of the dielectric block is dimensioned for insertion coupling into an end of the waveguide. A dielectric radiator portion is provided between the waveguide transition portion and a sub-reflector support portion. An outer diameter of the dielectric radiator portion is provided with a plurality of radially inward grooves extending radially inward to a diameter less than an inner diameter of the end of the waveguide and a lens bore extends from a proximal end of the dielectric block towards the distal end of the dielectric block at least to the sub-reflector support portion. The unitary dielectric block may be manufactured as a single contiguous monolithic portion of dielectric material via injection molding.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Junaid ul Islam Syed, Ronald J. Brandau, Alastair D. Wright, Allan Tasker, Brian J. Lawson

Patent number: 8698683Abstract: A dual polarized reflector antenna assembly, provided with a reflector dish coupled to a feed hub with a feed port there through; a transceiver support bracket coupled to a backside of the feed hub; a circular to square waveguide transition coupled to the feed port; a square waveguide coupled to the circular to square waveguide transition; an OMT coupled to the square waveguide; the OMT provided with an OMT intersection between a square waveguide and a pair of rectangular waveguides oriented at ninety degrees to one another, an output port of each rectangular waveguide arranged normal to a longitudinal axis of the dual polarized reflector antenna assembly. Alternatively, a circular waveguide may be applied between the feed port and the circular to square waveguide transition, eliminating the square waveguide, or the rectangular waveguides may be extended longitudinally, also eliminating the square waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Andrew LLCInventors: Junaid Syed, Keith Tappin, Allan Tasker, Gary MacLeod, Wenjie Zhu, Haidong Chen

Patent number: 7898497Abstract: A reflector antenna mount for a reflector antenna with a primary mount coupled to a support arm. The primary mount rotatable in a first axis relative to the support arm. A secondary mount coupled to the primary mount; the secondary mount pivotable in a second axis relative to the primary mount. The reflector antenna coupled to a front side of the secondary mount; an electronics enclosure of the reflector antenna positioned on a back side of the secondary mount, the electronics enclosure coupled to the reflector antenna. A dielectric enclosure provided with a front face and a side surface coupled to the primary mount. The front face spaced away from the reflector antenna, outside of a range of motion of the directional antenna in the second axis.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2008Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Andrew LLCInventors: Junaid Syed, Chris Hills, Allan Tasker, Ian Renilson, Keith Tappin
